A few places left!

From our base in St Davids, we will tour the Cathedral, explore Nevern Church and one of the oldest Norman stone castles in Wales. We will step back in time at Castell Henllys, a unique Iron Age hill fort with reconstructed roundhouses, granary and a forge. A highlight will be a trip to Pentre Ifan, the largest and best preserved Neolithic dolmen in Wales, with a guided walk along the dramatic headland of St Davids to see its industrial remains.

Leading archaeologist Professor Mike Parker Pearson will introduce the Presili's where the remarkable story of the Stonehenge blue stones are thought to start.

9.00–15.30 Guided walk of St Davids Headland including part of the coastal path, featuring an introduction to sites of all periods. Includes packed lunch.The walk will involve some rugged terrain.

Food, drink and accommodation

The weekend event includes a drink reception on Friday evening, with lunches provided on Saturday and Sunday, and a hot buffet on Saturday evening.

Accommodation is not included, so you are free to make your own arrangements.

St. Davids is quite small, so if you find it hard to find accommodation there, we recommend that you stay in Haverfordwest and we will arrange transport to and from St. Davids on the Saturday and Sunday. At the moment, this hotel has vacancies http://www.hotelmariners.co.uk/.
